I got an afformentioned guitar. I went to guitar nucleus and it basically said that it was made in the 2000's but its got a sticker on the head that says 50th anniversary, 1946-1996. so im thinking it was made in 1996 and it is $@! made and the serial number does start with a V. Whos leg do i got to hump to get the facts for sure about it. lol. If anyone is interested to buying it then it is for sell for the best offer and its olympic white with all vintage features and plays great......
